    I think about that 'new' strip a lot as I live on that block and walk by it all the time.  Benny's is indeed the stronghold, but even he has said business still isnt so good and he was contemplating a move to Franklin.  I think the new dry cleaners may have a chance.  Nouvelle Vag is just a matter of time, as is that antiques store.  Alphadi and Color Me Mine (or whatever) didn't have a chance. 

    What is the "Court Officers Academy"?  Is that what the former church property they're working on across from The Classon will be?  Those buildings are huge, I was hoping it would be a good quality school, but figured it'll be housing.  guess not.

    Disregard, I just found old articles about the Court Officers Academy.  Wow, had no idea.  Time to open a luncheonette.  I wonder what it'll mean for the immediate area.  Will it deter crime?  Will it mean there are a lot of young new guys with chips on their shoulders acting like jerks.  Parking impact?

    It might. Here's the thread about it:

    16 beers on tap. About $7 each.

    ...and, briefly, a birthday for 7 year olds.

    I searched for 'Brooklyn farm map' and found the relevant maps:

    Section 5 is the one this bar is in.

    Unfortunatley, the UI on the NYPL site is terrible, straight out of 1995 MapQuest. But they're really cool maps, and explain all the weird slanty lots around the neighborhood, as well as showing some fun facts, like that Grand Ave. was once planned to reach all the way to Eastern Parkway, fronting directly on the Museum— that would have been a grand view, indeed.

    Stopped by there last night and had a great time. Extremely friendly owner (Bill) and bartender, and a great selection of beer both on draft and in bottle. They have an outdoor space ready to go when the weather warms up as well. Should be a very welcome addition to the neighborhood.

    Brooklyn Based confirms same:

    "1. Covenhoven

    Named for a colonial-era family farm estate that once stretched through Crown Heights, Covenhoven, which just opened on Classon Avenue, is a family affair. Owners Bill Pace and Molly Bradford live upstairs–the couple formerly ran an art gallery in the space. This spot is a combo tap room/bottle shop not unlike Park Slope’s Bierkraft, so you can choose suds from any of the sixteen tap lines, or browse the extensive selection of bottles, which are also available to go. Bartenders encourage tasting at least a few beers before settling in, and there are Pelzer’s Pretzels to soak them up. The space itself is beautiful, with a garage door that opens up to let in the sun–perfect for that time of year when it’s not really warm out but we’re all ready to pretend winter is over. Covenhoven’s grand opening party this Wednesday, March 26 at 7pm will feature an NYC tap takeover, with drafts from Bronx Brewery, Sixpoint, Dyckman Beer Co. and more local brews.
